            </Grid>    
        </Grid>
    </Window> 

The above code for the LayoutAnchorable section textbox appears without any title and dock combobutton

Answer 1

This issue was found in avalon dock 4.5.51 version in Nu-get installation. When I installed avalon dock 4.0.0 version, the title, dock options start appearing.

Answer 2

As described by by the op, the issue seems to arise from different versions of Avalondock. I had the same Problem and noticed the following:

• Versions below 4.50.3 seem to work
• the reason for this seems to be, that from Version 4.51.1 onwards, Avalondock has a dependency on "net5.0-windows7.0" which in my case the application did not support

So reverting the version to 4.50.3 or lower fixed the conflict.
